Courtney turned from her desk upstairs in her office, where she was packing her cameras for the weekend, when a shuffle came from behind. The smile came easily. "Hello."

He looked up with his one hundred percent male grin still in place. "Yes." He tugged on the neckline of her white blouse, kissing her there. "Are you going to wear that short purple dress I saw hanging on your closet door?"

She laughed. "I was planning on it."
